About Us

We are a global media business specialising in the gaming industry. We have a publishing arm consisting of a dozen owned websites including PCGamesN.com and PocketTactics.com. We produce class-leading content for clients via our creative agency team, and work with advertisers to create fan-focussed experiences. We are based in Bath but are open to taking-on remote employees within the UK too.

The Role

You will be responsible for organising and progressing our development work schedule across Network N’s brands including PCGamesN, Pocket Tactics, Wargamer, and PCGameBenchmark. Here you will find yourself working with some amazing partners across the gaming industry and driving our in-house development team to enhance and grow our digital portfolio including creative solutions for our commercial partners.

As our Project Manager, you will gather requirements, author well-written tasks that explain the work to be done by our team and assign that work with our talented team of developers and our partner companies. You’ll follow the tasks through their lifecycle from inception to deployment. You will quality control the work that gets released and play a crucial role in our team as we work to produce high quality work in a timely manner.

A typical day starts with our Publishing Development team stand-up where we check what tasks each person is focussing on that day. If it’s a Wednesday, then you’ll have prepped our Weekly Dev Meeting agenda: you’ll run this weekly check-in with the Executive Chairman, James. You’ll present what decisions we need from him; give an overview on the progression of projects that make up our quarterly goals; and see what requests he has for us. You’ll keep us on time and confirm our priorities for the following week. You would typically spend the rest of the day QA-ing work from the development team. Part of the day will be project management: triaging and updating tasks, and reporting on ongoing progress. After lunch you’ll be on QA or further project management. We have two focus hours during the day where we can get our heads down and work uninterrupted. Before too long we’ll have QA’d and deployed some updates and it’ll be time for home!
